Author’s notes: Welcome to chapter 44 of Reunited everybody! Megan and Miranda attend a fundraiser at the casino, meet their squadmates at the bar, and nothing bad could possibly happen. Right? If any of you have suggestions on what I could write in future chapters please don’t hesitate to PM me. As usual, here’s the link to my adult-fanfiction.org account: http: //members. Adultfanfiction.

Megan smiled at the applause that was directed at her and Miranda after they gave a compelling speech during the fundraiser for the war effort. They made their way off stage and were greeted by a hug from both Aaron and Carla. “Attagirl. I knew you 2 would do me proud up there. From what I’m hearing, the donations collected are probably going to increase by at least 50 percent. That’s absolutely massive.”Aaron said proudly as they rejoined the crowd, mingling around before Miranda decided to have a go at the roulette wheel. After talking to an awestruck turian shipping magnate, Megan moved on to join her wife at the roulette wheel.“Dammit. This game is more rigged than an election in the Terminus.”Miranda cursed as she lost 500 credits. “Trying an evening out on the town, hmm Miri? Gosh you look fantastic in that dress.”Megan purred as she wrapped an arm around her wife’s waist. “Mmm I know.”Miranda smiled back at her redheaded wife. “Finally we have ourselves some breathing room to just relax and enjoy each other.”Megan sighed as she watched her Miri place another bet. “You’re right. I’m just…not used to it. Feeling a bit lost…it’s kind of sad really. I got to thinking we all needed a break. No point in saving the galaxy if we can’t enjoy it once in a while.”The brunette replied as the wheel spun.“Well, color me surprised. The slave driver Miranda Anne Shepard thinking of taking a break?”Megan teased as Miranda laughed. “Arse. But I don’t blame you, I can be…severe.” “You’re focused. Believe me, I fully understand that. “I was thinking about our talk last night in the shower. About having a normal life. Damn it, not again! I’m not very good at this. Truth is Cassie; I’m not very good at being normal either. Bit of a disaster, really.”Miranda sighed as once again, she lost 500 credits. “It’s ok Miri. We all need practice.”Megan smiled as she kissed her on the cheek. “Well, any ideas, Mrs. Shepard?” “Oh I’ve got some ideas. Miri, you’re here, you’re beautiful, and I have you all to myself.”The redhead purred into the shell of Miranda’s ear as she fully embraced the brunette from behind.“So tonight I’m just going to be a regular girl taking out her best girl for a fun night out on the town.”The Spectre finished with another kiss, on Miranda’s neck this time. “No being space heroes or super spies?”Miranda teased. “Just bright lights, a few games, some good drinks…and hopefully a little steamy action later on. Agreed?”Megan purred. “We need a break Cassie. Twice in 2 days is more than enough. But I like the general idea. We definitely need some wine.”Miranda giggled back. “Waiter, get us 2 glasses of Chardonnay.”Megan said to a nearby waiter, who nodded and went off to fulfill the order. “You’re pretty sexy when you’re pushy. What now?”Miranda purred back.“Let’s spin that wheel and see what happens.”Megan replied as Miranda placed a bet and did just as Megan said. “The odds are against us, you know.”The brunette leaned back to look into Megan’s honey green eyes. “Maybe, but I’ve got a great feeling about this.”The redhead replied just as the waiter returned with the wine, and they toasted each other, sipping on the wine just as Miranda’s bet won 5000 credits. “See? I told you…let me try.”Megan said as Miranda smiled at her, letting the redhead take her place as she embraced her redheaded wife from behind. After about 15 minutes, Megan and Miranda finally left the table having lost only 7000 credits. “Boy, you weren’t joking when you said that this was more rigged than a Terminus election.”Megan grumbled as they headed up to the lounge upstairs.They saw Thomas, Viktor, Michael and James enjoying themselves in one of the booths, and all of them were dressed in their Alliance formals, save for Michael, who was dressed in a sharp suit instead. “Wonder what they’re doing here. I’m surprised that Reznov and James can afford to come to this place.”Miranda commented as they sat at the bar, perching themselves delicately on high chairs. “Well, a lieutenant’s pay isn’t that shitty these days. Thomas is probably going to have to foot the bill though.”Megan replied as they ordered up some Serrice Ice Brandy, sipping away as they quietly watched the people around them move. “Good God, they’re on Hallex.”The brunette groaned as she saw them all down a distinctive green pill.“They’re users? Huh, guess I’m going to have a little chat with them when they sober up.”Megan muttered as she watched them down it with shots of gin. They continued chatting for awhile before being interrupted by loud, raucous laughs from the men as the redhead sighed. “Great. This is only the giggles stage of Hallex…they’ve got 4 more stages to go. Well, at least the ‘Tripping Major Ballsack’ stage comes fast and leaves fast, but I’m worried about the ‘Fuck Yeah Motherfucker’ stage. Hey Nyla, hey Jentha. Wow, I think this is the 1st time I’ve ever seen you ladies in dresses.”Megan greeted the asari Spectre and her girlfriend as they approached and seated themselves at the bar beside Megan and Miranda.“Yeah, and I’m reminded why.”Jentha complained as she fiddled with her dress. “You two should wear dresses more often. You look gorgeous. So, what’re you doing here?”Miranda asked as Jentha ordered 2 glasses of chardonnay for her and Nyla. “Well, Spectre intel says that this bar and casino is owned by Elijah Khan, one of the biggest drug and slaving lords in the galaxy, and we finally have more than proof to convict him in the court of law. I’m moving in to take him down.”Nyla whispered as she eyed Thomas, Viktor, Michael and James warily as they roared with laughter. “They’re on Hallex, the idiots. You need any help?”Megan whispered back. “Yeah sure as long as we’re not interrupting your date night. But security’s watching us, so let’s have a drink 1st.”The asari Spectre replied.“Don’t worry, it’s a nice change of pace from the fundraiser me and Megan are attending. Cheers to us.”Miranda replied with a smile as all 4 women raised their glasses and toasted each other, sipping on their drinks casually. “I’m pretty sure we knew all about his dirty dealings a long time ago. So why wait until now to bring this scumbag in?”Megan asked. “Well, just last week, he sold off an entire shipload of asari refugees to several Terminus planets, most notably Illium. Some shock journalist got wind of that and it was the biggest news all of 2 weeks ago until we cured the genophage and krogan troops began deployment on Palaven, and it blew up in the Council’s face. Public backlash was some of the worst the Council has ever seen, discounting the reaction when the Reapers hit.”Nyla explained.“Typical Council attitude. The only time they’re actually willing to do anything is after something blows up in their faces.”Miranda scoffed. “I’m not surprised really. Looking around here, you’d think that life was still normal and the Reapers are nonexistent.”Jentha replied as she finished off her red wine. “Looks like the security are a little more preoccupied with Thomas and his merry bunch. Time to go.”Megan said, warily watching as 3 security personnel that were stalking Nyla and Jentha turned their attention to Thomas and his merry bunch as they were getting noisy. “Alright. Got guns?”Nyla asked as the 4 women quickly moved in on Elijah Khan’s office. Megan pointed to her clutch while Miranda patted her small evening bag, hanging from her shoulder.“Well, this is like Conartix Angels. Girls taking down bad guys in dresses, hiding their guns in elegant clutches and shit.”Jentha remarked, getting soft giggles from the other 3 women. They ducked into a dim corridor, walking briskly as they hurried to Khan’s office. “Hey, what’re you doing back here? This place is off limits!”A turian security guard demanded as they walked on. “Nyla T’Lokk, Spectre. Step aside and you’ll be fine.”The asari Spectre commanded as the turian reached for his earpiece. Before his talons could reach it, however, Nyla and Megan had knocked him out. The redhead flattened him with a hard right uppercut and Nyla biotically threw him into a wall, knocking him out and Jentha and Miranda kept walking on, their high heels clicking loudly on the floor.Both Spectres quickly caught up with Miranda and Jentha as they waited by the door to the office. Miranda had her S5 Phalanx drawn while Jentha had her X77 Paladin drawn. Both Megan and Nyla drew their own pistols and stacked up by the door. “Jenny, the door please.”Nyla asked her lover sweetly as Megan and Miranda smiled, as Jentha began hacking the door lock. Soon enough, the door slid open and all 4 women stormed into the room, not as fast as they would’ve liked thanks to the high heels. “Khan, we’re not here to kill you, we’re just here to arrest you. So I’d advise not resisting, unless you decide that your brains are going to be a really nice wall décor.”Nyla rattled off in a bored tone as the middle aged man froze, his eyes darting between all the ladies.“You don’t know who you’re trying to arrest, don’t you? I will have you know I have good friends in the highest places in galactic government-” “That have no jurisdiction or influence whatsoever. I’m a Spectre and I’m above the law. This means that you’re well and truly fucked, Mister Khan.”The asari Spectre interrupted the slaving and drug lord as his eyes went as wide as saucers as he desperately reached for the alarm on his desk, but Miranda threw him backwards with a biotic blast before his hand could even get halfway to the alarm. He tumbled backwards, falling out of his comfortable chair and ingloriously onto the floor as Nyla moved in and handcuffed him, manhandling him out of the room alongside her girlfriend and Megan and Miranda.“Hey, thanks for your help ladies. I’ve got another Spectre waiting outside to take this guy into custody, so I and Jenny will join you for more drinks later.”Nyla thanked the couple as they frog marched Khan towards the main entrance, glaring at any security personnel who looked like they were going to go for their guns. The security was smart enough to stay out of it, and they handed off Khan to Nyla’s turian Spectre partner without incident before going back into the casino, where they were accosted by Miranda’s parents, as Nyla and Jentha walked on. “Miranda, did you just arrest Elijah Khan? You know; the owner of this casino?”Aaron asked. “I know. He finally did himself in by selling off an entire shipload of asari refugees as slaves, and a journalist sensationalized it.”Miranda replied.“Yes, I know all about the slave trade and drug dealing he’s doing a long time ago. I’m just surprised that you guys finally made a move to arrest the scumbag.”The older Lawson commented, sipping on his wine. “Well, we finally have more than enough evidence to throw this bastard into jail for a long, long time. Plus, the Council had to act on this one; otherwise they’d be seen as useless.”Megan explained as Carla nodded. “About damn time. Say, where did Ori say she was again?” “She’s having a movie date with Danner mum.”Megan replied. “I sure hope they aren’t watching a porn movie, otherwise-”Aaron’s sentence was cut off with a grunt of pain as Carla pinched him hard. “Shush, you. Well, you girls go have fun with your friends while we old people get drunk.”Carla laughed, shooing her daughters away.When Megan and Miranda got back to the bar, Nyla and Jentha were already there sharing a bottle of red wine, and they were surprised to see Ashley and Jack seated there as well. Ashley was in a short, tight fitting blue Alliance dress while Jack was dressed in an Alliance uniform. “Hey, what are you 2 doing here?”Megan asked as she and Miranda took their seats next to Ashley. “Well, Ash just got asked to be a Spectre by that Udina dickface, so we’re here to celebrate!”Jack smiled, squeezing Ashley’s bum through the dress she wore as she squeaked. “Wow, you got chosen to be a Spectre? Congrats Ash! So, did you say yes?”Megan congratulated. “Well, I told Udina that I’d think about it 1st before saying anything.”Ashley replied as she took a sip of her honey mead.“That’s good. Being a Spectre takes a whole lot of dedication and work. Take as long as you want to consider the offer before saying anything.”Nyla advised as Ashley nodded. “Yeah, that’s for sure. I’m probably going to say yes though. I mean, a chance like this is too good to pass up. I relish the challenges and responsibilities that this new position is going to bring. Plus, I can bring Jack along as my personal psychotic biotic sidekick.”The Latina soldier joked, leaning in to kiss her girlfriend. “Is there any particular reason why Udina chose you?”Miranda asked. “Well, it was mainly thanks to Anderson and Hackett recommending me, but Udina said he needed someone who was at the front of this war from the start and embodied Alliance values well.”Ashley replied.“I see. Well, here’s to hoping that your shit pay gets better.”Jentha laughed, raising her glass of red in a toast as all the ladies clinked their glasses together. “Amen to that Jentha.”Ashley smiled back as all the women sipped their drinks, relaxing. “Hey Nyla, you’re like 500 this year, right?”Jack asked as she swigged her batarian ale. “505 to be exact. Why?” “Well, I heard all sorts of stuff about asari wanting to start a family and all that shit once they hit matron. So, are you planning for it?”Jack asked. “I probably will consider that with Jentha after this war’s over. But I’m not going to quit the Spectres anytime soon though; I like the job too much. Although admittedly, some of the jobs are complete shit.”Nyla answered with a smile.“Oh-ohmygod a fucking unicorn! Holy shit!”Michael bellowed from the booth where he was seated in as Megan groaned. “Great…they’re in the ‘Tripping Major Ballsack’ stage. Let’s hope they snap out of it fast enough before they get thrown out of the club.” “These stupid fucks are on Hallex huh? Lightweights.”Jack scoffed as everyone save for Ashley looked at her incredulously. “Lightweights? Are you fucking kidding me?”Jentha choked. “Yeah, don’t mind Jack. Her nostrils are like Aish Ashland’s pussy; she’s had everything in there.”Ashley laughed as all the ladies burst out laughing. “That could easily become a classic Williams. I’m surprised you didn’t wax poetic for that.”Miranda smirked.“So, I’m probably going to accept the Spectre appointment seeing that Jackie’s going to kill me painfully if I don’t. Since we’re at the bar…are you ready to see who the real Spectre is and who are the pretenders?”Ashley winked as Nyla chortled. “Pretender huh? I wonder…who’s still wearing their training bra?”Megan shot back. “Laugh it up Captain. It’s all downhill from here. Rules are simple: All shots down at the same time. Hesitate and it’s game over. Barman, get the 3 of us vanrial shots and don’t stop.”Ashley ordered. “Vanrial? That salarian swill has an alcohol content of 91.56 percent!”Miranda sputtered. “Don’t worry, Ash is a total lightweight. She’s totally out of her league on this one.”Megan assured her as the barman served them the shots with a knowing smile.“Uh-huh. Glamorous and beautiful superstar Spectre agent goes 1st. Sorry ass pretenders next.”Ashley snorted as she downed the shot, wincing at the burn as both Megan and Nyla did likewise. “I’ll try to go easy on you so you don’t break a nail…princess.”Nyla taunted with a huge grin on her face as Megan, Jack and Jentha burst out in laughter. “You did not just say that.” “Oh, I sure did. Come on, princess.”The asari Spectre chuckled as Ashley grabbed the shot the barman slid to her. “Oh, I’m gonna enjoy humiliating you 2.”Ashley growled as she downed the shot alongside Megan and Nyla. “Hey Ash, know any poems about crying like a little girl?”Megan smirked, the alcohol beginning to get to her.Ashley just gave Megan the middle finger as the next 3 shots were slid over, and the 3 Spectres downed them, Nyla coughing a bit as the salarian liquor burned her throat. “Cheap shot, Megan. I expected better from you.”Ashley scoffed. “Oh, I’m just saving my best moves for later.”The Captain grinned as Ashley folded her arms across her chest. “Best moves? At least if you’re drunk you’ve got an excuse for how you dance.”She laughed as they downed another shot as the concern on Miranda’s face got more pronounced. “Boom! I’m on a roll.”The brunette soldier cheered as Nyla laughed. “Please Lieutenant Williams; I can do this all night. Come at me, little girl.” “We may have to. And oh, it’s on now.”The Lieutenant shot back at the asari as they were surrounded by batarians.“Hey you! My friend doesn’t like Alliance types, and neither do I.”A scarred batarian growled, punching Megan on the arm as the redhead’s biotics flared up. “Hey asshat, we’re in the middle of something.”Ashley growled as another batarian stepped up to shove her against the bar. “I don’t like you Alliance either.” “Rain check?”Nyla suggested as all the women just sighed. “Yeah. Guess so.”Ashley sighed as the women dismounted their chairs and hit back at the dozen strong group of batarians. Miranda biotically threw one into the booth Viktor and the men were in and caught another in a headlock while Jack punched a batarian’s lights out before flinging another one away with her biotics. Jentha was busy wrestling with a batarian.Nyla kicked one of the batarians trying to grab her bond mate in the crotch, earning a howl from him before she smashed his head against the bar, knocking him out. Megan and Ashley, however, weren’t doing so well thanks to them being more affected by the liquor. Ashley fell to the floor as a batarian landed a hard punch to her face, and Megan took a kick in the abdomen just as Thomas, Viktor, Michael and James charged in with wild whoops and yells. Thomas’ biotic enhanced punch sent a batarian flying over the bar as he drop kicked another one. Viktor bashed one batarian into unconsciousness with his bare hands before grabbing the batarian that was holding Megan in a headlock, hoisting him overhead before throwing him against the bar with a loud bark of laughter.James had pinned one batarian who was kicking Ashley, who had just swept a batarian’s feet from underneath him before kicking him in the face as she lay on the floor, to the bar top as he rained punches on the batarian until the alien went limp. The last one was dispatched quickly by a flurry of blows and ended in a vicious knee to the face from Michael as security trained their guns on the group. Miranda’s dress was slightly askew, as was Nyla’s. Jentha’s dress was badly rumpled, but Megan and Ashley’s dresses were almost completely ruined. “It’s alright guys, Captain Shepard of the Spectres. I got this under control.”Megan held up a hand at the security personnel as she nursed her bruised jaw while the rest of the women save for Ashley, who was nursing her stomach with Jack.“Jesus Christ. Spectres really fuck everything up.”One human security officer grumbled as he holstered his weapon and dispersed along with the others. “Fuck yeah! Still wanna fuck with us, Mister Batarian Motherfucker? Taste my balls, yeah!”Michael hooted as he teabagged an unconscious batarian as the other men grunted happily in response. “That’s right you wanker, attack the ladies and I’m gonna shit on you with my mates!”Thomas yelled at another unconscious batarian as he kicked the limp alien a few more times. Reznov was laughing and swearing in Russian as he sat on a groaning batarian, punching the defenseless batarian a few more times as James just slung the batarian he’d punched out on the bar onto the floor, laughing as he did so.“Alright boys, right good one we gave to these fucking sods!”Thomas cheered as the other guys cheered with him, high fiving each other as Megan and Miranda stood there with arms crossed, their expressions less than pleased as Megan ‘ahem-ed’ to get their attention.”While I’m grateful for the timely assist, I’ve gotta say that I’m less than happy about your Hallex consumption gentlemen.”The redheaded Spectre said in her most commanding voice as the men groaned. “Come on Lola, we’re not addicts. Besides, we just did what we did in self defense since that motherfucker kinda bashed into our night out.”James protested as he gestured to the batarian Miranda had flung into their booth, who was still lying amongst the wreckage and spilt alcohol unconscious.“Addicts or not, all of you were still using. I understand the need to relax, but using Hallex is crossing the line.”Miranda said sternly as the men stood around like schoolboys chastised by their teacher. “Nyla, Jentha, so sorry for dragging you 2 into this fight.”Megan apologized to the asari and her bond mate as they smiled. “It’s alright Captain, I enjoy a good bar brawl every now and then. Kind of awkward to do it in dresses, but it was fun.”Jentha laughed. “Well, it’s time to drag these idiots out before they cause any more trouble.”Megan said as the women led the men out of the bar and back to the penthouse. “Thank God we managed to get here without any problems. Viktor, what the hell are you doing?”Ashley asked as Reznov jumped atop the coffee table.“I am best singer on Citadel! Aaahh-yaaah-yaah-yaaaahh! Yah-yah-yah, yaaaahh-yah-yah!”Reznov belted out as the rest of the guys began jeering as Megan pulled the Russian down from the coffee table. “Goddammit Reznov, you get your ass to bed now. Same goes for you morons. Girls, drag these jackasses to bed.”Megan ordered just as Danner and Oriana came in through the door, Oriana with a large cup of soda in one hand and Danner was burdened by a whole collection of shopping bags. “What’s wrong with them?”Oriana asked as Ashley punched Thomas in the gut, abruptly stopping his crazy rave dance as he slumped onto the couch with a loud ‘oof’. “The idiots took Hallex, and they’re in the 2nd last stage of its effects.”Miranda sighed.“Well skipper, here’s hoping that the brass don’t get wind of what happened tonight, otherwise we’re going to have a lot to answer for.”Ashley grunted as she threw James onto the bed as Megan did the same for Reznov. Fortunately, the men had finally entered the last stage of Hallex before it wore off. “Finally they hit the asleepyness stage. Well, just accept the Spectre appointment and you’ll get away with it.”Megan sighed as the women walked out of the room to see Nyla and Miranda carrying a loudly snoring Michael into a bedroom. “Well skipper, are you planning on it?”The brunette laughed. “Well, sort of. God, I need some salve for this bruise.”Megan winced as she gingerly nursed the sore spot on her jaw as Danner did a spit take as he drank Oriana’s soda.“What happened to you 2?”Danner asked in shock as she saw Megan and Ashley’s bruises. “Bar fight, don’t worry about it. Oh, you’ve got 4 drunken guys crashing here tonight, so don’t get too alarmed tomorrow.”The redhead said casually as Danner rolled his eyes. “Yeah got it Captain. You gonna stay here tonight?” “Nah, I and Miri are going back to Dad’s place. We’re actually leaving now.”Megan replied as she held Miranda’s hand. “Alright then boss lady. You take care of yourself.”Danner waved goodbye as Oriana came up to hug both women. “Hey Megan, try not to get beat up next time. Love you sis.”Oriana said as she hugged Miranda. “We love you too. No hanky panky with Danner tonight!”Miranda warned Oriana was the entire group made their way to the door.“Killjoy. Goodnight Megan.”Oriana stuck out her tongue at Miranda as the doors swished close. Megan, Miranda, Ashley, Jack, Nyla and Jentha bade each other goodbye, heading back to their places in pairs. On the drive back to Aaron’s penthouse, Miranda turned to Megan. “You really got beaten up badly back there, didn’t you? I’ll get you an icepack when we’re home.”The brunette remarked as Megan sighed. “Thanks for ruining my ego Miri.” “You know I love you Megpie. I should probably get some water for you and some salve for your bruises.”Miranda said as she pulled up to a Presidium convenience store and parked outside, going in and buying a bottle of water and some salve for Megan quickly.Just as the brunette was coming out, she saw a figure glaring at her intently from the corner of her eye as she whirled around to confront the figure. She caught a glimpse of the man as her memory kicked in and identified the man in a split instant. Kai Leng. Miranda thought as her biotics flared up as the indoctrinated assassin disappeared. The brunette ran to the spot where she had last seen the assassin and she scanned the area wildly as the few passersby looked at her oddly. She then hurried back to the aircar where Megan was waiting. “Miri, what’s wrong? What happened?”Megan asked, concerned that her wife was in such a flustered state. “I swear I just saw Kai Leng standing right there.”Miranda said as she closed the door, passing the water and salve to Megan.“Kai Leng? Why would that bastard be here?”Megan wondered as she gently applied the salve to her bruises. “I don’t know either, but if he’s here, that means bad news.”Miranda scowled as she drove back home. The minute both women stepped through the door, they were confronted by Aaron and Carla. “Miranda Anne Shepard, you better explain yourself! Aaron and I were just having some friendly chitchat with Rupe Elkoss, the owner of Elkoss Combine, and then the next thing I know, all hell’s broken loose and then you and your friends are dragging men through the front door!”Carla demanded as she gasped at seeing Megan’s bruises. “Megan Cassandra Shepard! What happened to you?”She demanded, reaching for one of the larger bruises as Megan quickly swatted her hand away.“Bar brawl with a bunch of drunken batarians mum. They threw the 1st punches, and we were forced to act in self defense.”Miranda defended her wife and herself as Aaron hemmed. “Huh, would they happen to be a dozen batarians all dressed in sharp suits that just came out of a private room?” “Yeah, why? You know them, Aaron?”Megan asked. “Yes. Well, it looks like you ladies had the pleasure of meeting Brak Thon’kal, the CFO of Batarian State Arms, and his cronies. He’s openly anti-human, and he’s pissed about Bahak and about the general predicament the batarians have found themselves in.”Aaron explained. “Well, that explains why he said that he didn’t like Alliance types.”Megan muttered. “Go to sleep girls. That’s the only way you’ll ever stay out of trouble.”Carla sighed as she pushed the women to the bedrooms.The next morning, Megan, Miranda, Thomas and James were seated outside Councilor Udina’s office. Apparently, the brass and Udina had gotten wind of the bar brawl the previous night and they had summoned all the Alliance personnel responsible to Udina’s office. Jack and Ashley arrived next, followed by Reznov last. “Great. Guess my wish didn’t happen.”Ashley sighed as Megan nudged her. “Like I said before, be a Spectre and be safe from any repercussions. I’m probably going to pull Spectre status on Udina to see him lose his shit just for shits and giggles.”The redhead chuckled as Thomas cracked his knuckles. “As for you, Mister Hansen, you’re probably in the shit. I’m pretty sure your Hallex consumption hasn’t gone unnoticed.”Megan continued as Thomas sighed.“Great.” “Councilor Udina will see you now.”A young blonde aide said as she led them into the office, where Udina and Anderson were waiting. “Shepard, this is an outrage! You very nearly sabotaged a crucial fundraiser for the war effort with your hooliganism and you’ve just created another political shitstorm! Brak Thon’kal is now crying to everyone around him and it’s creating a complete mess of things! And your conduct shames the Alliance!”Udina ranted through clenched teeth. “Councilor, Brak and his thugs initiated contact. We were forced to retaliate in order to ensure our own safety.”Miranda countered before Megan held up a hand and stepped forward.“You forget who you’re talking to Udina. I may have an Alliance rank and have an Alliance ship, but I’m 1st and foremost a Spectre. That means that I’m not accountable to you, and I don’t need to take your bullshit. Remember, you did nominate me for this.”Megan shot back as Udina went red with rage as Anderson cracked a small smirk. “This-this is an outrage! You are blight on humanity and on the Alliance! And as for the rest of you, I’m disgusted with your lack of proper conduct and I will have you all officially punished!”Udina began ranting as Ashley stepped forward. “With all due respect Councilor, I’ll accept the position of Spectre right now.”The brunette said as Udina snorted. “How wonderful! Now humanity has not one, but 2 hooligans for Spectres!”“We need her in that role, Udina. Right now, another human becoming a Spectre is a huge shot in the arm for humanity, and God knows we need that right now. You can get back to your other duties now, Councilor. Regarding the punishment, I’ll deal with them in my capacity of a superior officer.”Admiral Anderson spoke up, defending his soldiers as Udina waved them off dismissively, turning and heading back to his table. “Fine. The less I deal with these walking political shitstorms, the better.” “People, to my office. Now.”Anderson commanded as he led the way to the office 3 doors down. Once the office doors had slid shut and everyone was inside, Anderson faced them sternly.“Captain Hansen, Lieutenant Vega, Operations Chief Reznov. I’ve received reports about you being on Hallex. While I know that you boys like to go wild on shore leave, but partaking of drugs is crossing the line. I expect a full report on how and who you got the drugs from each of you by the end of today. All of you took part in an expensive bar brawl with some of the most important batarians left after Khar’shan got owned by the Reapers.”Anderson said sternly as he left the miscreants to stew for a little longer before speaking up again. “So, did you hit those bastards hard?”Anderson asked with a small smile on his face.“Yes sir. We beat the shit out of them sir.”Megan answered with a shit eating grin as Anderson finally smiled. “Alright. Well, you’re all free to go. And Lieutenant Williams, I’ll put your name in as a Spectre now. Dismissed.”Anderson shooed them away just as explosions were heard and alarms began blaring. “What the fuck?”Jack asked as everyone looked around, save for Anderson. “Commander Bailey, what the hell is going on?”Anderson barked into his omnitool. “Sir, the damn Reapers have invaded! They just dropped outta FTL and they’ve already overrun the docks and are assaulting C-Sec headquarters!”Bailey replied, his tone panicked as everyone looked out the window to see Reaper drop ships dropping off their payload of troops.“Fuck! Most of the crew is in the Alliance barracks, right?”Megan asked as everyone nodded. “Yeah, most of them are bunking there. Steve’s on the Normandy with Greg and a few others today though.”James replied as they ran out of Anderson’s office and down the hall to the Alliance security office, where they managed to scrounge up a pair of S27 shotguns for Megan and Jack and X8 and X15 rifles for everyone else. “Steve, this is Shepard! Grab all the ground team’s armor and weapons and meet us at the C-Sec HQ loading bay! Get help if you need it!”Megan ordered as she called Cortez. “Roger that ma’am!” “Alright, I’m going back to my place to secure my kids! The rest of you, head down to C-Sec HQ and provide support, and don’t get shot! Rally the team to meet there!”Megan ordered.“Wait! I’m coming with you to secure our family!”Miranda called out as Megan nodded. “Ok Thomas, you take command! Good hunting!”The redhead said quickly before running to the nearest aircar with Miranda following behind as she called Ori and Danner. “Good luck Captain!”Thomas yelled back as he and the rest of the team rushed to C-Sec HQ. Miranda’s genetically enhanced reflexes were pushed to their limits as she dodged harvesters and Reaper drop ships on the mad rush back to the penthouse. Fortunately when they reached, no Reapers had hit the area yet. They rushed inside to see Aaron and Carla rushing Zack and Tabby down the stairs. “Are you alright?”Megan panted as she ran up to her family, hugging her children close.“Yeah. Why are there loud boom boom?”Zack asked as Miranda hugged him. “The bad guys have attacked Zack. Now mommy and daddy have to go deal with them.”The brunette replied. “We’re going into the safe room. We’ve got 4 Rampart mechs inside to protect us, so don’t worry about us. Carla and I will keep Zack and Tabby safe.”Aaron said as he grasped Miranda firmly on the shoulder. “Thank you dad. Alright Zack and Tabby, be good and listen to grandma and granddad, okay? Mommy and Daddy will be back soon.”Miranda told her children as she hugged them. “Ok mommy. Go get the bad guys!”Tabby cheered as Megan and Miranda laughed, kissing their children and hugging their parents, escorting them to the safe room before rushing back to C-Sec HQ.On the way back, they saw utter chaos. Reaper troops were everywhere, randomly gunning down civilians as scattered C-Sec and military forces fought back but to no avail. “Jesus. I wonder how Thomas and the team are doing down there.”Megan muttered as Miranda skillfully piloted the aircar to avoid an incoming barrage of rockets from a harvester. “Fuck these sodding dragon things! We’re pinned, we’re fucking pinned!”Thomas yelled loudly as he felt the reinforced guardrail that he’d taken cover behind judder with the force of the rockets from the harvester as they battled Reaper forces alongside C-Sec in the C-Sec loading bay. “Contact right! No wait, left! Left!”Ashley screamed as she put two quick 3 round bursts from the borrowed Vindicator into an advancing cannibal, putting it down.“Fuck that, we’re goddamn surrounded!”Jack screamed as she sent out another biotic shockwave, scattering cannibals everywhere as Reznov and Ashley, who were next to her, gunned them down? “You mean we can attack them from every direction now?”Viktor shot back as he emptied the remainder of his thermal clip into an advancing commissar, putting it down hard as he reloaded the X8. “Yeah, very funny you crazy Russian bastard! That fucking dragon is killing us!”Jack screamed back as the harvester switched targets, forcing Ashley, Jack and Viktor down behind the security barricade as Thomas, James and a human and turian C-Sec officer with X8 rifles open fire on the harvester, doing everything they could to kill it.Suddenly, 2 things happened. An aircar crashed into the horde of Reaper troops, mowing down literally dozens before coming to a stop. The doors then swung open and Megan and Miranda jumped out, their biotics flinging Reaper troops everywhere as an Alliance shuttle roared in, blasting the harvester to death with its mounted cannons. With this new boost, the remaining Reaper troops were quickly wiped out as the shuttle landed and opened its door to reveal Joker at the controls and Steve standing at the door, in armor and carrying an X8 Avenger, accompanied by Sarah, Bethany and Greg who were all in armor and toting rifles, as well as Jacob, who quickly jumped out. “Hey guys, got your armor here!”Steve yelled as the Normandy crew took turns to armor up and grab their weapons as the 2 surviving C-Sec officers covered them.“Have you seen Oriana and Danner?”Miranda asked as she cocked her X60 Harrier assault rifle. “Nope…there’s an aircar coming in though. Is that them?”Steve asked as his question was answered as Danner Oriana, and Michael hopped out as soon as it landed and they rushed to the shuttle. “Got your armors here.”Greg said as he slid 3 ordinance boxes to them as they quickly unpacked them and armored up. “Alright, did you hear from anyone else? Garrus? Nyla and Jentha? Jade and Nicole?”Megan asked her team. “Uh ma’am, are you referring to Vakarian? If you are, Garrus Vakarian was in C-Sec earlier, he might still be there.”The human C-Sec officer answered as Megan nodded. “Thanks. We’re getting Garrus and then we’ll move on the Councilors.”“Nicole just sent a message that she and Jade are pinned down in the Presidium Commons shopping area. I have no idea about Nyla and Jentha, I can’t get through to them.”Oriana reported. “Alright everyone, move into C-Sec HQ and clear it out! If Garrus is still in there, he’s probably pinned down.”Megan ordered as everyone nodded and hurried in. The corridor was strewn with dead C-Sec officers and dead Reaper troops and they followed the sounds of fighting to the main atrium. The rapidly dwindling C-Sec forces were getting overwhelmed as Megan’s team entered the fray. “Danner, Ashley, Jack and James, you’re on me! We’re going upstairs to provide covering!”Thomas yelled as he dashed upstairs with his selected team.Megan and her team joined the firefight, quickly taking down Reaper troops as Thomas’ team eliminated a few Reaper troops upstairs before combining their firepower, and the enemy was eliminated in short order. “Bailey! Hang in there!”Megan urged as she administered medigel to the wounded police commander. “I’ll be fine. We need to take back this joint. Without it, C-Sec’s gonna be flailing around like a pyjak without a head. Reapers were damned smart; they took it in the 1st push.”Bailey grunted as he stood up, picking up an X2 Banshee assault rifle from a dead officer as they moved up. “The nerve centre is one the 3rd floor. This way.”Bailey directed as they moved up, quickly clearing out any remaining Reaper troops.“Good lord. Is this the situation everywhere? Are the Councilors even alive?”Ashley asked as they saw dead C-Sec officers all around the room. “I’ll know more when I’m patched in. Here we go…”Bailey muttered as he accessed the main terminal. “Damn it, the Reapers have completely jammed the main channel, but I can set up a new one real quick. Without it, our people have no plan and no chance. Well, look what we’ve got here…”Bailey said as Megan looked at the screen. “What you got?” “Councilor Esheel was supposed to meet the Executor in her office. ‘This move may provoke retaliation’…well that’s an understatement. If she’s inside her office, she’s in trouble.”Bailey said.“Why would she be meeting with the Executor?”Miranda asked. “Usually that means that someone big is about to be prosecuted. The councilor will probably have a clearer picture…for all the good that’s gonna do us. We need to find the councilor and get her out of there. Maybe she’ll know who caused this shit by letting the Reapers in. ”The C-Sec commander grunted. “Roger that, we’re moving out. Stay here and stay down.”Megan ordered as Bailey nodded. “Hang on, got the new channel up. Now we can talk on this frequency.” The redhead nodded and checked the channel, just as her omnitool buzzed with a call from Thane. “Shepard, the Reapers are in control of the docks and they’re landing more troops. I’m in a Presidium storefront now, heading to C-Sec headquarters.”The drell assassin said as Megan nodded.“Why C-Sec HQ?” “It’s been compromised, and C-Sec’s response depends on it. As long as the Reapers hold the headquarters, they hold the station.”Thane replied. “Don’t bother about that, we’ve just cleared it out. Just stay safe. Oh, and if you see a blonde biotic with a blonde engineer holed up in the shopping district, ask if their names are Nicole and Jade. If they are, join them. They’re part of my team.”Megan replied as they moved out of the room. “Got it Shepard. May the Goddess keep you safe from harm.”Thane bade as he hung up. “You’ve got Jade and Nicole’s gear, and Garrus’ weapons with you, right?”Miranda asked as Danner, Ashley and Viktor nodded. “Da. I have Nicole’s armor and weapons.” “I got Jade’s kit box.”Danner replied.They fought through Reaper infested corridors, cutting them down with ease. Even the heavily armored scions weren’t a challenge thanks to Megan, Miranda, Jack and Thomas’ biotics stripping away their armor, letting the other team members gun them down with brutal precision. Soon, they came upon a small holdout of a half dozen officers, and Garrus was one of them. The Reaper troops pinning them down found the tables turned as biotics, tech attacks and gunfire cut them down, and a grenade from Reznov finished the firefight with a huge bang. “Good to see you guys. Now you know why I never like not wearing my armor.”Garrus drawled as Ashley handed him his Phaeston assault rifle and Krysae sniper rifle.“Good to see that your golden ass held up you ugly bastard. Where’s Kelly?”Megan asked as she applied medigel on the bullet wound on one of the other officer’s thigh. “Heh, such a charmer. Kelly’s safe and sound in the civilian shelter in C-Sec with the other civilians. It’s near to the nerve centre.”Garrus explained as he checked his weapons. “Yeah, we missed it. Bailey’s at the nerve centre and he’s set a new channel on this frequency.”Megan replied as she sent the channel to the C-Sec officers’ omnitools as well as Garrus’. “Don’t worry about it. The thing won’t unlock until the emergency condition is lifted, or if Bailey or another higher up overrides it.”The turian replied before turning to his ex-colleagues.“Hill, think you can get these guys to the nerve centre?” “Sure thing Vakarian, you kill a few of these Reaper shitbags for me.”The officer, who was an Investigating Sergeant according to the chevrons on his uniform, agreed as Garrus cracked a smile. “Oh, I’ll bag more than a few for you.” “Okay guys, it should be clear back there. We cleaned house pretty well on the way here.”Ashley informed them as they nodded, hurrying back to the nerve centre while expressing their thanks to the Normandy squad. “Hang on, got a call from Thane.”Megan signaled for her squad to hold up as she connected the call. “Shepard, I am hiding in the Sensual Azure store in the Presidium storefront with the women you asked me to look out for. Jade has been shot and she needs medigel immediately.”Thane began.“Roger that. We’ll be there ASAP, hang in there.”The redhead reassured before cutting the connection and heading out of C-Sec HQ and into the Presidium Commons. “Well, at least there are no brutes here.”Garrus commented as he overloaded the shield of a commissar before gunning it down with his Phaeston. “Oh shut it, you. Now that you’ve opened your big mouth and said it out loud, we’re gonna get ambushed by them.”Thomas grumbled as rounds from his X60 Harrier, combined with Megan’s X7 Valkyrie and Michael’s X60, eliminated a scion after Miranda biotically warped its armor. Just as they were moving forward, a brute thundered out of a store. “Great, you just had to say it, didn’t you?”Thomas growled as they took down the brute as quickly as possible.After cleaving their way through a considerable amount of Reaper forces, they finally arrived at the Sensual Azure store where Thane had said that they were holed up in. “Alright Captain, you take the girls in and…well, we boys will secure the outside.”Michael said awkwardly as the men nodded in unison. “Seriously? You’re grown ass men and I’m pretty sure you’ve all seen some lingerie by now. We’re all going in.”Megan snorted, striding in and leaving no room for protest as the men tried to act nonchalant. In the dressing rooms, they found Thane, Nicole and Jade. Jade had been shot in the abdomen, the round miraculously missing all her vital organs as she clenched her S7 Eagle pistol hard, her teeth bared in pain as Thane and Nicole tended to her.“Hey Jade, how do you feel?”James asked as he administered medigel. “Like processed shit run under a fucking Mako.”Jade groaned as the beefy lieutenant applied the medigel to the wound, sealing and disinfecting the wound. Soon, Jade sighed in relief as the anesthetic from the gel took effect. “Thane, it’s good to see you again. Are you alright?”Megan asked as Nicole quickly geared up and Jade stood a little unsteadily. “Yes, I am in good health. Do you require my assistance?”The drell asked as he checked his S77 Paladin pistol. “We’re heading to the salarian councilor’s office. If you’re alright…”Megan trailed off. “Yes, I will follow you Shepard.” “Good to have you by our side again Thane. Do you need a rifle?”Miranda smiled as she offered her rifle.“No. But I would like a knife if you would be so kind as to lend it to me.”Thane declined as Miranda detached the knife and its sheath from her armor. “Sure Thane. Here you go.” “Thank you, Miranda. This is an excellent knife.”Thane complimented as he tested the combat knife before holding it in his right hand, his pistol in his left. “So, what’re you two doing here?”Viktor asked as he kept his X77 Typhoon trained at the door while Jade armored up. “Oh nothing, we just came here to spy on women in the dressing rooms and then take advantage of their vulnerable, naked states to have some passionate lesbian sex.”Nicole said nonchalantly, putting on her helmet as everyone stared at her.“Of course me and Jade were here to buy underwear. Fucking duh!”Nicole blurted out as she cocked her X25 Hornet. “Right. Well, I never took you two for girly lesbians, let alone lovers.”Jack snorted as Jade froze and Nicole choked on air. “I’m straight! Why the hell would 2 girls going shopping together for some nice underwear make them girly lesbians?!”Nicole sputtered as Jack raised one hand and her shotgun in defense. “Alright, Jesus. Calm your tits Nic.”The tattooed woman relented. “Okay, can we go now? We don’t even know if the salarian councilor’s dead or not.”Megan said in exasperation as everyone nodded. “Alright, I’m good to go.”Jade said, thumbing up as she finished checking her X7 Hurricane SMG.Apparently, the Presidium Commons were worse hit than C-Sec HQ as there were brutes everywhere. But between Nicole’s sneaking and katana skills, and Thomas’, Megan’s, Miranda’s, Oriana’s, Thane’s and Jack’s biotics, the explosive rounds from Garrus’ Krysae, the incinerate blasts from Michael and Danner, Ashley’s shotgun, Jade’s grenades and the machinegun fire from James and Viktor, and the fact that all of the squad were deadly accurate with their guns the brutes didn’t quite do any damage. Eventually, they managed to reach the office of Councilor Esheel. “Finally, and not a moment too soon. I’m almost outta thermal clips man.”James commented as he stowed away his X77 in favor of his S5 Phalanx.“Yeah, me too.”Danner agreed. “I’m down to my last 2 clips.”Reznov reported as Michael and Oriana reported the same. “Last 3 for me.”Miranda said as they stacked up on the door as Jade, Garrus and Jack indicated the same. “Anyone on their last thermal clip? I got 6.”Nicole offered as Ashley reached over. “Yeah, thanks Nicole.”Ashley thanked as she took the 3 thermal clips Nicole had offered. “Alright, we’re going in. Breaching!”Megan yelled as the door slid open and everyone stormed in to see 2 dead salarians in armor, and one dead human lying on the ground, all with stab wounds. “Son of a bitch. I think Kai Leng might be behind this.”Miranda muttered as everyone turned to her.“Kai Leng? He sounds familiar.”Michael wondered as Nicole spoke up. “He’s the Illusive Man’s personal ninja. He was the one who instituted that Phantoms like me should use swords. Expert martial artist as well.”The blonde ninja explained as Megan turned to her team. “That’s right. And somehow, the idiot got himself fucking indoctrinated, so he’s basically gone rogue.”The redhead explained as Thomas and Viktor beckoned to the team. “We found Esheel. She’s down there and she looks alright.”Viktor pointed at the councilor as she hid behind a table. “Alright move!”Megan commanded as Thomas broke the window. “Me, Garrus and Viktor will provide overwatch ma’am.”He said as Garrus took up position.“Copy. Stay sharp. Bailey, they got the executor and his 2 salarian bodyguards, but we found Esheel. She’s safe.”Megan said as she cautiously advanced on the salarian councilor. “Damn. Those bodyguards were STG. At least Esheel is unharmed.”Bailey sighed in relief. “Councilor? What’re you doing without your stealth cloak?”She asked as Esheel was about to answer, but a figure suddenly dropped down right behind Esheel and drew his sword, pressing it against her back. “Don’t even think about it, you fucker.”Megan growled as she recognized Kai Leng from the dossier TIM had sent her. “Shepard. He’s going to kill us all.”Esheel cried out in panic. “It’s 14 against one, Leng. Give it up.”Miranda called out.“Ah, the legendary Miranda Lawson. Used to be the Illusive Man’s personal pet and part time sex toy. Now you’re just a sad figure, following your Shepard around like a lost puppy.”Leng sneered as Megan’s eyes flashed with rage. “You really wanna get shot by 14 people at the same time, pendejo? It’s over.”James shouted as Leng smiled. “No, now it’s fun.” Before he could make a move, however, Thane dropped down from the beams without a sound and leveled his S77 at the assassin’s head, about to pull the trigger. However, Leng sensed this and whirled around, batting Thane’s gun arm aside as the two assassins went hand to hand, trading punches and jabs as Esheel quickly ran behind Megan’s squad. Leng threw Thane over his shoulder, and the drell rolled it off smoothly and came up and fired.However, Leng had disappeared in the blink of an eye. “Where the fuck did that bastard go?”Thomas yelled from on top as everyone scanned around for him. “Anyone got eyes on him?”Garrus yelled. “Negative! The fucker’s gone with the wind!”Jade yelled back as Thane held his knife closer to him. Suddenly, Leng reappeared a distance behind Thane as the drell opened fire, all his shots soaked up by Leng’s shields as the assassin closed the distance and they traded blows once again. Thane dropped his gun as he chose to get in close, delivering numerous hard and fast jabs to the assassin’s face and neck before blasting him back with a biotic punch.Kai Leng wouldn’t be defeated so easily, however. He flipped back up and charged Thane with his sword as Thane dodged the upswing, but he was surprised by how fast Leng flipped the sword backwards and it sliced shallowly into the drell’s right bicep. Thane parried the sword arms away, slashing with his borrowed knife as Leng managed to dodge every swipe until a jab to Leng’s throat caused him to falter, and Thane pressed home his advantage and stabbed Leng in the shoulder of his sword arm and then moved in for the fatal heart stab, but Leng finally decided to run. The indoctrinated assassin back flipped away and cloaked as everyone fired at his assumed trajectory but got nothing.“Thane! Are you alright?”Megan called as Thomas, Garrus and Viktor rushed down. “I am fine. I have suffered worse before and this does not affect my fighting ability. We must go after the other councilors as I believe that they are the targets of this assassin.”Thane assured them as Ashley administered medigel to the wound, stopping the bleeding. “Thane, that was impressive. Good to have you back.”Garrus said respectfully as Thane nodded. “Likewise, Mr Vakarian.” “Councilor, where are the other councilors?”Miranda asked hurriedly. “They’re in the Chambers, meeting and discussing some issues. It was called by Quentius.”Esheel replied.“Thanks Councilor. Barricade yourself inside your office until C-Sec arrives.”Megan told her as she nodded, running up to her office.”Bailey, Esheel’s barricaded in her office, so you should probably get units there ASAP. We’re going after the other Councilors, as there’s an indoctrinated rogue assassin after them.”Megan radioed to Bailey. “Damn. Alright then, I’ll send some men to secure the salarian councilor.” The squad jumped into a few cars as they raced to the Council Chambers, trying to get ahead of Leng. When they reached the Chambers, they stormed in to find it empty. “Damn it, where are they?”Danner cursed. “They’ll probably be at the shuttle bay! C’mon, this way!”Megan beckoned as she ran to the shuttle pad, closely followed by the squad.When they got there, they saw Nyla, Jentha and Verlus there defending Irissa, Quentius and Udina as a shuttle blazed in the background. “Nyla! What’re you doing here? Follow-shit!”Megan cursed as she opened fire on Leng along with her squad, who jumped off a passing aircar as his shields simply shrugged off the rounds long enough for him to stab Udina in the chest as the human Councilor fell down dead. His next target was Irissa, but before he could make progress, Nicole jumped into the fray and began clashing with him as Nyla and Verlus moved the councilors behind Megan’s squad. “Hey, glad you showed up.”Jentha panted as she tried to aim at Kai Leng, but he and Nicole were moving too fast to get a clear shot.Suddenly, Leng kicked Nicole in the shin as she stumbled before he slashed her, creating a deep gash on her abdomen as she fell over. “Shit! Kill the fucker, now!”Miranda screamed as everyone poured gunfire at him, but he was moving unnaturally fast and he managed to dodge the shots long enough to reach Irissa as Viktor rushed up to Nicole, tending to her. Megan then jumped in with her knife drawn, slashing at Leng as he effortlessly dodged her swipes, slashing at her as she gracefully rolled out of the way, jumping up and managing to lodge her knife into the assassin’s upper chest. However, Leng managed to stab Megan with his katana as well, and the redhead fell over, not understanding what happened until a sharp burst of pain emitted from her midsection as she cried out in pain.“Megan!”Miranda screamed as Leng knocked Ashley over, effortlessly dodging Jack’s biotic throw as he used Ashley as a springboard to get to Irissa. He then cleanly decapitated the asari councilor and turned to Nyla, managing to stab her as well before Thane began to engage him. “Megan! Oh God Cassie please stay with me!”Miranda begged as Megan’s vision filled with her wife crying, clutching at the stab wound as her vision dimmed, but she saw Thane finally get the upper hand and stab Kai Leng in the chest before shoving him over the railing. She then turned back to Miranda and gasped for air as she began to choke on her blood. “Miri…I…love…you…take…care…of…kids…”The redhead rasped out, looking into Miranda’s eyes as she desperately administered medigel to the wound.“I love you too Cassie. Please, hold on!”Miranda begged. “So…cold…”Megan whispered as she got so cold, so cold…and then, she saw nothing but blackness.Final notes: Yeah I know, I know. “Damn you t3hpro! I fucking hate cliffhangers!” “Bullshit!” Alright guys, calm down. While I myself dislike cliffhangers, I decided to try it out just this once. So, there you have it! Thane didn’t die, and he whooped Kai Leng’s ass too! (Yay!) Now, in game, Kai Leng was really shitty, so I decided to make him actually live up to the training and reputation and make him more than a cereal munching comic book villain.
